Building Favorites Lists; Creasng A Favorites List - Uniden HomePatrol-2 Owner's Manual

BUILDING FAVORITES LISTS
As you listen to HomePatrol-2, you'll find that there are certain channels you want to listen to. You can
create groups of related channels that you can have HomePatrol-2 exclusively monitor, or monitor along
with the Full Database or other Favorites lists. For example, you can create a list enSrely of police
department dispatchers, emergency operaSons, or a specific city's transmissions. If there is a special
event coming up, like a car race, you can create a list just for that event. You can save a maximum of 256
Favorites Lists.
Once you have Favorites Lists saved on HomePatrol-2, you can copy them to HomePatrol SenSnel on
your PC. If you need to reset your HomePatrol-2, you can restore your Favorites Lists from there. You can
also create and manage Favorites Lists in SenSnel, then move them to your HomePatrol-2
Creating a Favorites List
There is more than one way to create a new Favorites List:
From Fave on a submenu pop-up. While you are monitoring transmissions, open a submenu
•
pop-up and tap Fave. This method is useful when you are already monitoring a channel you'd
like to save. If you don't have Favorites Lists already established, you can create a Favorites List
and save the transmission locaSon to it.
NOTE: The FAVE submenu pop-up displays different screens depending on whether or not you
have Favorites Lists already saved. Both of these procedures are described later in this sec%on.
Tap Menu/Manage Favorites Lists. This method is useful when you know you want to create a
•
Favorites List for specific transmissions you know you will be monitoring. You can create the list
and then save transmissions to it as you come across them.
Listen for a while using the Full Database and avoid transmissions you do not want to listen to.
•
Once you have not needed to avoid a channel for a while, create a new Favorites List database
and select Add Current Channels to add all unavoided channels from your current selecSon. This
is probably the easiest way to quickly make a local Favorites List using your HomePatrol-2.
Use the HomePatrol SenSnel sodware to create a Favorites List.
•
All of these methods will take you to the Create New List keyboard, but through different paths.
